Chapter 38: Kate's Plan 

Kate's POV:

It was official.Peter was really going to marry that bitch Serena.

Of course, the whole Maple House was filled with joy, and everyone immediately got to work for theceremony preparations.

They were all so busy that when I entered the Maple House, where I was not allowed in, no one paidattention to me at all.

Oh, please.What was the big deal? It was just another wedding.

Why was everyone so happy? During the banquet, I used the chandelier in the hall to successfullyexpose that bitch's hybrid identity.

I even hoped that the chandelier would fall right on top of her and kill her on the spot, but I didn't expectthat she would narrowly escape the disaster.

It pissed me off a lot.She should have been executed that very moment.

How could such a bitch deserve to be the Luna of this pack? Since I didn't want to see the bustlingscene in the Maple House, I went out and strolled aimlessly outside.

Unconsciously, I found myself in front of the prison.

Just a few days ago, Serena was locked up here.

Now, she was going to become the Luna of the Red Maple Pack.

If I had known that earlier, I would have found a way to kill her while she was detained.

It seemed that because of the festive spirit, the guards on duty were very relaxed.

I stood in front of the prison, and none of them thought to drive me away.

As of now, I knew that there was only that wizard named Henry imprisoned in one of the cells.

It suddenly occurred to me that Henry's teacher, Alexander, was the one who ordered the capturing ofwerewolf and vampire children.

He wanted to create a hybrid of werewolf, vampire, and wizard.We happened to have one werewolf-vampire hybrid right here in the Red Maple Pack.I wondered if Alexander would be interested...

A plan hatched in my mind.

I walked over to the side of the prison and spotted several guards drinking together.

"Hey, boys, do you mind if I join you over there?"

Since the guards were always busy at work, they rarely came into contact with a beautiful and sexyshe-wolf like me.

Naturally, they had no problem with a woman like me asking to join them.

Soon, I was able to get the guards drunk enough to let me take the keys from them.

With the keys jingling in my hand, I walked into the prison and found Henry's cell.

He was surprised to have a visitor.

"Listen here, you don't have to know who I am.All you need to know is that the future Luna of our packis a hybrid of a werewolf and a vampire.I'm going to let you go.You know what to do with thisinformation."

Henry blankly stared at me.

There was no time to ask questions.

I unlocked his prison cell and opened the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he escaped and ran off, disappearing into the darkness.

I went back to the guards and also got myself drunk.

That way, anyone who investigated would think that I was too drunk to be a suspect.

I believed that Peter still had some feelings for me, and that he wouldn't think that it was me who letHenry go, either.

At most, he would only blame me because I drank with the guards, loosening security and giving Henrya chance to escape.

Now that Henry escaped, I hoped he would report to Alexander about the identity of Serena.

If everything would go according to plan, Alexander would capture Serena, removing my biggestobstacle.

I just needed to wait.That bitch had already escaped last time.

Sooner or later, her luck was bound to run out.

But even if things wouldn't go as planned, it didn't matter.I had another plan in mind, and it was allabout letting Serena make an awful fool of herself.

Serena's POV:

After breakfast, news had broken out that Henry had escaped.

Perhaps it was because of how busy the Maple House had been for the wedding preparations, and thefestive spirit probably led the guards on duty to relax their vigilance.

This was definitely no small matter, but since today was a big day, the investigation of this matter wouldhave to wait.

I was going to investigate it, but Anita interrupted me before I could even excuse myself.

She needed me to get my hair and makeup done already, as there were more important things toaccomplish for the ceremony.

"Come on, Serena.We need to hurry.We have a long day today."

"Fine, fine."

I let Anita take me down to the corridor that led to the in-house beauty salon.

It was very lively at the Red Maple Pack's territory today.

After all, this was the first Luna Ceremony they were going to have in nearly twenty years.

All venues below the sixth floor had been opened for the public, so there were definitely more peoplegoing in and out for a view of the exclusive Maple House.

Right outside the grand entrance, an open- air grandstand was built with a seating capacity of morethan a thousand people.

All walls, posts, and any other surface had been decked with the most beautiful decorations.

The sound of children's laughter filled the square garden.

Mrs.Brown clearly had her hands full today as she took charge of directing all the cooks to prepare thefood and drinks for everyone.

"Anita, who else have we invited aside from the Red Maple Pack? Did we invite people from otherpacks, too?"

"Yes, we did, but don't worry.They're all allies.They shouldn't bring any trouble."

On our way to the salon, many people had stopped to greet me, calling me Luna.

Kate and her friends were here, too.

When I got close enough to them, I read their minds and heard their gossip about me.

They were burning with so much hatred and jealousy.

‘Oh, god.Here she comes.I can't believe that bitch is really going to become our Luna.’

‘I can't accept this.Kate or Camille would have been a better choice for Peter.Anyone but Serena!’

‘We're going to watch a good show today, nevertheless.The guests will love a very sexy Luna.I can'twait.’

Their thoughts poured into my mind, and I had a bad feeling that they were up to no good.Kate evensmiled smugly at me.A sexy Luna? I furrowed my eyebrows.

What could that possibly mean? What trick were they going to try to play on me now?
